General terminologies used in WCMS

Below i tried to list out some of the General terminologies used in WCMS:

Site:Used to group a set of Site Areas and Content.

Site Area: Used to build the Site Framework within which content items are grouped.

Authoring Template: Defines what data entry fields appear when creating new Content. Default values can also be entered into an Authoring Template.

Presentation Template: Specifies the design of a displayed page, including the layout of Components in a page and the default properties of a page (background, font, etc.). Presentation Templates allow you to change the look of a page without having to update what is being displayed on a page.

Components: Components are the building blocks of a Web Content Management environment. They either store content that can then be referenced in another Web Content Management item (e.g., Text Component, Image Component), or generate content based on selected parameters (e.g., Menus, Navigators).

Taxonomy and Categories: A Category refers to the subject matter of your content, i.e., what your content is about. For example, your news content may be of the category “Sports”, “Travel”, or “Entertainment”. Categories can be used to determine what links will display in a menu. Categories are grouped within Taxonomies.

Workflow: controls access to, verification and eventual approval of Web Content Management Items. Only if an item is approved at all stages up to a published stage can it be viewed on your web site.

ARBITRARY

In addition to reliability, here are 5 reasons why WordPress is the best platform for any
online business:

1. Free. If you have never heard about open source software, you might be wondering why something as great as WordPress is free. WordPress is free because it has been developed by a worldwide community of developers, who do it as a hobby and because they love the open source spirit. Not only WordPress itself is free but also most of its themes and plugins are free, which means that you can create a really rocking site for free.
2. Easy to use. Ease of use is another reason why WordPress is a great choice for an online platform. This means that someone with little experience will be able to deal with WordPress with no or just a little help from the pros.
3. Secure. As far as online business is concerned, security is of the greatest importance. If your platform is insecure, this is a threat to everything you do and you just can’t afford to go for an insecure platform. Fortunately, in regards to security, WordPress tops the list. It is true that there is no unhackable software and nobody can guarantee you that even with the most stringent security measures your WordPress site will never be hacked but it does make a difference whether you install a security fortress or an easy target for a beginner hacker.
4. Highly customizable. You will certainly want your online platform to have a unique look. With WordPress this is easy to achieve. There are thousands of themes you can choose from and thousands of plugins to add in order to get exactly the functionality you need. If you are a web designer and/or web developer, you can also use existing themes and plugins and modify them exactly to your liking. Not many other CMS offer such customization freedom!
5. Great community. Last, but not least, another reason why WordPress is such a great online platform is its community. The forums at WordPress.org and the other WordPress-related sites contain tons of threads about everything WordPress-related. Additionally, almost always when you are stuck with a problem and ask for help, knowledgeable and skillful WordPress gurus rush to your help. The WordPress community is simply great and you should experience it yourself.

WordPress is a top CMS. It is easy to start using, yet it is powerful and you can build your site exactly the way you dreamed it. If you have never tried WordPress, get it today and try it out. Just don’t forget to browse through wordpress hosting guides to see which WordPress hosts that are worth dealing with and which aren’t. WordPress is reliable and secure but a poor web host is more than it can stand, so don’t take any chances.
